    ABSTRACT: We assembled an ancestrally diverse collection of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in 180,834 cases and 1,159,055 controls (48.9% non-European descent) through the DIAMANTE (DIAbetes Meta-ANalysis of Trans-Ethnic association studies) Consortium. Multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis identified 237 loci attaining stringent genome-wide significance (P < 5 x 10−9), which were delineated to 338 distinct association signals. Fine-mapping of these signals was enhanced by the increased sample size and expanded population diversity of the multi-ancestry meta-analysis, which localized 54.4% of T2D associations to a single variant with >50% posterior probability. This improved fine-mapping enabled systematic assessment of candidate causal genes and molecular me

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • Emphasize low glycemic index whole grains, legumes, non-starchy vegetables Moderate

    rs12345069 C allele associates with diabetes risk; low GI diet reduces glucose spikes and insulin demand

    Replace refined grains with whole grains and legumes; limit added sugars

Discuss with your doctor

  • Personalized Type 2 diabetes prevention strategy Moderate

    rs12345069 C allele confers increased diabetes risk; clinical assessment can identify additional risk factors and guide prevention

Exercise

  • Regular aerobic and resistance exercise Moderate

    C allele carriers have increased diabetes risk; exercise improves insulin sensitivity and glucose control

    150 min/week moderate aerobic exercise plus 2+ sessions/week resistance training

Screening

  • Type 2 diabetes screening with fasting glucose and HbA1c Moderate

    rs12345069 C allele significantly increases Type 2 diabetes risk; early detection enables timely management

    Baseline and annually; more frequently if fasting glucose >=100 mg/dL or HbA1c >=5.7%
